HIGH ST.

circa 1910

This atmospheric view of High Street in Cheadle, taken around 1910, offers a charming window into everyday Edwardian life in this Greater Manchester village. A horse-drawn cart makes its way down the narrow cobbled street, flanked by pedestrians and shoppers going about their business.

To the right, shopfronts display clothing and daily necessities under striped awnings, while signs like “J. Ogden” and the Liberal Printing Office remind us of a time when small local businesses were at the heart of community life.

The scene is alive with details: the attire of passers-by, the children's curiosity, and the gentle bustle of a thriving market street just before the motor age transformed it forever.
